Hi All just got back from SAS auctions Newbury toy auction. A few bits I was looking for I managed to pick up, Aston Martin D box & Vauxhall Cresta pink & green box poor. About hundred lots there I thought I had won a couple of extra lots as he dropped the hammer on my bid then took one off the internet. A few pre pro superfast overall a mixed bag, very pleased with the Cresta, sorry I cant post any photos Pete

That Cresta looks awesome Pete, one of my favourite models and I still only have very playworn versions.
Some of the other prepros look good did they fetch a good price. J

Hi the Cresta was one of models I thought I would never get. Some of the pre pros did very well the two blue cranes fetched around £70 or 80. I intended to bid but I was really cheesed off when he dropped the hammer on me then took another bid off of the internet. There were a lot of cheap lots when they had three or four of the same model. I only buy to collect. Some of the models looked a bit dodgy some of the paint on some of the models was very poor. I understand that there is going to be a large collection coming up in the summer Pete

Herewith Pete's photographs. (That Cresta looks mouthwatering!)

Hi Hugh I really appreciate you posting the photos for me I will have to get my son to have a look at my laptop Pete

Hello Pete

The Aston is beautiful and the Cresta is simply amazing!
Wonderful condition.
Congratulations and enjoy!

They look like superb examples for your collection Pete and being a past Vauxhall Man, I lean towards the Cresta as my favourite of those Two, well done.

Must agree with Ghosty that Cresta is wonderful

LOVE the Cresta! Still looking for my collection. Very hard to find!! Macdonald

When I found my Cresta Pete, I was so pleased even though it was a real beater. Yours is a beauty, you must be over the moon (and not forgetting that lovely Aston, both with great boxes!)
